Scrum is an agile framework for managing product development that uses short cycles of work called sprints to incrementally build a product. Key aspects of scrum include self-organizing cross-functional teams, a product backlog maintained by a product owner, and regular sprints, daily scrums, sprint planning and retrospectives to facilitate collaboration and continuous improvement. Scrum provides principles for iterative development and adaptation to change throughout the product life cycle.

Scrum is a way for teams to work
together to develop a product.
Product development, using
Scrum, occurs in small
pieces, with each piece building
upon previously created pieces.
Building products one small piece
at a time encourages creativity
and enables teams to respond to
feedback and change, to build
exactly and only what is needed.
